A parent or guardian of an absent student is to call the attendance office at 1-317-964-6605 explaining the nature of the absence by 9:00 a.m. on the day of the absence. A note signed by the parent or legal guardian explaining the nature of the absence is required when the student returns to school if we are unable to make contact by phone on the day of the absence.

Excused absences include illness and injury (including medical and dental appointments), death of a close family member, family emergencies, and religious holidays.

Unexcused absences are those, which are not excused or prearranged as defined.

Students are expected to collect their make-up assignments in the way teachers designate and will be allowed one day for make-up for each day missed.

Clinic

Students who come to the clinic must have a pass from a faculty member.  Parent or guardians will be contacted to come to school and pick up the students who are too ill to return to class.

Medication Administration at School

If it becomes necessary for a student to take medication or receive treatment during the school day, the parent or guardian must complete a request to administer medication form and file it in the school nurse’s office.  If the medication or treatment is physician-prescribed, the parent or guardian must submit a written prescription from the child’s physician or the current pharmacy label with the request. Nursing staff can only follow the instructions on the prescription label. A physician’s order is also necessary for prescription samples that may have been released to the student, or for any over-the-counter medication that is not recommended for children under age twelve.

All other over-the-counter medication must be in the original container labeled with the student’s name and date of birth. Label instructions will be followed for all over-the-counter medicine unless otherwise prescribed by a physician.  

Request to Administer Medication Form

A student may possess and self-administer emergency medication for a chronic disease or medical condition ONLY if the parent or guardian annually files a request for student to possess and self administer medication form with the school nurse clinic. This form must be signed by the parent or guardian and a physician or nurse practitioner.

Request to Possess and Self Administer Medication

The health of your child is important to us.  The MSD of Lawrence Township recognizes that good health is essential to effective learning.  Each of our schools is staffed with a registered nurse equipped to meet the needs of our students.

After the first two weeks of school, we welcome your visit to your child's classroom. Pre-arranged classroom visits by parents are encouraged and welcomed.

We also welcome parents to come and eat lunch with their student in the All Star Cafe. Parents may either eat hot lunch from the cafeteria or bring a sack lunch from home. Please do not bring in food from a restaurant for you and your child.

All visitors should sign in at the office and wear a guest or volunteer badge.

For your child's safety and education, we cannot allow parents to just walk into the classroom unexpectedly. Thank you for your support in providing a safe environment for our children.

All visitors to school buildings are required to complete a SafeSolutions background check upon entry. Until further notice, we remain unable to allow parents to join their student(s) for lunch. 

 Volunteers

• All visitors must report to the school office to provide identification, sign in, and receive a visitor’s badge before entering the school. 
• Visitors should not park in the bus lanes.  Visitors are welcome for lunch, but a reservation must be made by 9 a.m. on the morning of the visit.  
• Although classroom visits are encouraged, mutually agreed upon times must be coordinated between the teacher and the visitor.  
• Volunteers should not use the visit as a time to meet or talk with the teacher about a student’s progress. The teacher must keep his/her attention focused on the entire class. Appointments should be scheduled for family / teacher conferences.  
• Volunteers are welcomed and appreciated. A wide variety of opportunities are available at your child’s school. Please check with your child’s school or teacher to learn more about the volunteering opportunities.  
• Volunteers are at school to complete a certain task within a predetermined time limit. Volunteers must only participate in what was arranged with the teacher or school.  
• Volunteers who work with students will be required to complete and have an approved criminal history background check prior to working in the school.
